Privacy policy

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Welcome!

The united-world management GmbH, is the German commercial alliance to the international data information website "united-world.org" established for the use of the community, who operates collaborative webpages to collect free opinions, knowledge and expressions of intentions.

The united-world.org movement is founded on a simple, but powerful principle: You are important! Your environment is important. Self determination without manipulation. Absolutely human rights, freedom of opinion, participation and transparency. We have to create more for all of us than the individual, who causes egoistically for himself by being influenced of the mass and being manipulated. In order to work together smoothly it is necessary to collect, use and share data about our user and examine this information external and internal in order to analyse and verify all news to the degree of validity. Only by doing this we can research how we can optimize united-world.org and make the website more secure, adventurous and user-friendly.

This Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information.

We are convinced that the creation and use of information should go hand in hand with transparency. In this privacy policy it will be explained how united-world.org is using and forwarding captured data, which we are receiving from you by your use of the united-world.org-sites. Therefore, you have to understand, that by using united-world.org sites you are accepting the collection, transmission, processing, storage, disclosure and use of your data according to the privacy policy. Thus, it is important to read this policy attentive.

We collect very little personal information about you.

In our opinion you should not be committed to provide personal data in order to participate in the free exchange of news and information. You do not have to state your real name, address or your date of birth to open a member account and provide content to united-world.org sites. We differentiate profiles between: "unknown user" and "verified user". Both profiles can add an additional pseudonym-name to their profile in order to post articles, pieces and news anonymously. “Unknown user”, so-called “unknown” have to provide a name and an existent email address. The “verified” user can be identified by “Id” next to his user name and has to pass through a post-identity procedure or has to undertake a transaction from his personal bank account to us.

We do not rent or sell your information to third parties.

We do not sell or rent your non public information, nor do we give it to others to sell you anything. We use it to figure out how to make the united-world.org Site more engaging and accessible, to see which ideas work, and to make learning and contributing more fun. Put simply: we use this information to make the united.world.org Site better for you.

By using the united-world.org page, you consent to this Policy.

After all, it's people like you, the fighter for free knowledge and opinions, who make it possible for the united world.org-sites to not only exist, but also be helpful, grow, thrive and will be a benifit for everyone.

Use of info

Types of Information We Receive From You, How We Get It, & How We Use It

Your Public Contributions

Whatever you post on united-world.org Sites can be seen and used by everyone.

The united-world.org- Sites were primarily created to help you share your knowledge and your information with the world, and we share your contributions because you have asked us to do so. When you make a contribution to any united-world.org Site, including on user or discussion pages, you are creating a permanent, public record of every piece of content added, removed, or altered by you. The page history will show when your contribution or deletion was made, as well as your username (if you are signed in). We may use your public contributions, either aggregated with the public contributions of others or individually, to create new features or data-related products for you or to learn more about how the united-world.org Sites are used. Unless this Policy says otherwise, you should assume that information that you actively contribute to the united-world.org-Sites, including personal information, is publicly visible and can be found by search engines. Like most things on the Internet, anything you share may be copied and redistributed throughout the Internet by other people. Please do not contribute any information that you are uncomfortable making permanently public, like revealing your last name or your complete address or location in your contributions. You should be aware that specific data made public by you or aggregated data that is made public by us can be used by anyone for analysis and to infer information about users, such as which country a user is from, political affiliation, and gender. For this reason you have the right to create your article using a pseudonym.

Code of conduct

United-world.org was established in order to create a possibility for everyone to express one’s opinion without imposed censorship and without attention to the social or political regime of a country. According to the human rights, it is allowed to state all thoughts and opinions.

However, please stick to following rules, which can cause a black out of your work in serious cases.

In the personal profile, as well as in all pieces following is absolutely forbidden in form of direct content or links:

  1. Nudities, which show sexual genitals, especially those of children. (any pornographic content)

  2. Every even implied image of sexual abuse of children

  3. Any appeal to murder, assault, agitation or bullying

  4. Publishing pictures, texts, videos or pieces without obtaining their rights or if the rights of any third parties are infringed by your release.

  5. All kind of spam, junk mails or promotional contacts

Recommended code of conduct

  • Don’t be insulting, offending or discriminating

  • Don’t write negative about people, places, events or traditions in order to harm them on purpose

  • Don’t publish any untrue piece, nor invent facts

  • Do write about other people in the same way you would write about yourself

  • Be respectful and objective, especially when you write about religion, orientations, people’s hopes, values or beliefs.

By publishing your piece on united-world.org the author permits quotation of the text and the use of all images and videos, as long as it is directed to the piece. It needs to be cited as following if any information of an article is used: “United-world.org, Article #”. It is allowed to quote the entire article if this rule is satisfied. Only with a correct quotation you are allowed to publish images, texts or videos divorced from its context. An editorial application is allowed if the general terms are complied. Without the approval of the author third parties must not use any content commercially.

Account Information & Registration

Want to create an account? Great! Don't want to create an account? No problem!

You do not need to create a verified account to use any united-world.org Site. If you do create an account, you do not need to give us your name or email address.
If you do not create an account, you cannot publish any contribution of you, but you can access all published information

You are not required to create an account to read a united-world.org Site, except you want to write something or inform us . However, if you contribute without signing in your contribution will be published by using a pseudonym. If you want to create a standard account, in most cases we require only a username and a password. Your username will be publicly visible, so please be careful about using your real name as your username. Your password is only used to verify that the account is yours. Your IP address is also automatically submitted to us, and we record it temporarily to help prevent abuse. No other personal information is required: no name, no email address, no date of birth, no credit card information. Once created, user accounts cannot be removed entirely (although you can usually hide the information on your user page if you choose to). This is because your public contributions must be associated with their author (you!). So make sure you pick a pseudonym you will be comfortable with for years to come. We reserve the right to delete your profile in case of violation of the code of conduct in extreme cases.

Information Related to Your Use of the united-world.org Sites

Information We Receive Automatically

Like other websites, we receive some information about you automatically when you visit the united-world.org Sites. This information helps us administer the united-world.org Sites and enhance your user experience.

Because of how browsers work and similar to other major websites, we receive some information automatically when you visit the united-world.org Sites. This information includes the type of device you are using (possibly including unique device identification numbers, for some beta versions of our mobile applications), the type and version of your browser, your browser's language preference, the type and version of your device's operating system, in some cases the name of your internet service provider or mobile carrier, the website that referred you to the united-world.org Sites, which pages you request and visit, and the date and time of each request you make to the united-world.org Sites.

Information We Collect

We use a variety of commonly-used technologies, like cookies, to understand how you use the united-world.org Sites, make our services safer and easier to use, and to help create a better and more personalized experience for you.

We actively collect some types of information with a variety of commonly-used technologies. These generally include tracking pixels, JavaScript, and a variety of "locally stored data" technologies, such as cookies and local storage. We realize that some of these technologies do not have the best reputation in town and can be used for less-than-noble purposes. So we want to be as clear as we can about why we use these methods and the type of information we collect with them. Depending on which technology we use, locally stored data can be anything from text, pictures, and whole articles (as we explain further below) to personal information (like your IP address) and information about your use of the united-world.org Sites (like your username or the time of your visit). We use this information to make your experience with the united-world.org Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the united-world.org Sites, and to generally improve our services. We will never use third-party cookies, unless we get your permission to do so.

Cookies

Cookies serve to support a safe and quick usage of the Internet platform United-world.org. Our goal is to get across why we use cookies in general. Tools such as cookies and local stores are used to ensure the security and stability of the website, thus offer services as for example advertising and products on united-world.org. You can deactivate these cookies on your device, but as a consequence you cannot make use of certain features of united-world.org. We use this technology to offer products, features and advertising. This information will be stored on your device and can be reread again to support the procedure when one similar customized service takes place. This is including an continuous improvement of our platform to understand your preferences and the pettiness, as well as protect your user profile against utilization by third parties. The use of cookies is used to authenticate you as a person. By using local storage we can assure that you're registered on our page. Furthermore, the stored data is aimed to facilitate your use of our platform. For instance, we can provide interesting information and functions more quickly and easier for you. This also shortens the time the platform needs to set up, since related data necessary for the use of United-World.org is already on your computer. This will make your surfing easear and more pleasant. Concerning advertising cookies serve to only show you relevant advertisment for you and to get to know how placed advertisment is perceived by you. We would like to create a possibly comfortable environment for you within our platform.

Locally stored data, JavaScript, and tracking pixels help us do things like:

Provide you with a personalized experience, such as using cookies to know your language preference, to remember the user preferences you set so we can provide you with the customized look and feel that you want, and to tell you about interesting united-world.org issues and events in your area. Deliver more relevant content to you faster. For example, we may use local storage to store your most recently read articles directly on your device, so they can be retrieved quickly. Also, we may use cookies to learn about the topics searched so that we can optimize the search results we deliver to you. Understand how you use the united-world.org Sites, so that we know what works and what is useful. For example, we might use cookies to learn about the list of articles you are following on your watchlist so that we can recommend similar articles that you may be interested in. Understand how you use the united-world.org Sites across different devices, so that we can make our varied united-world.org Sites more efficient and effective for you. Make the united-world.org Sites more convenient to use, such as by using cookies to maintain your session when you log in or to remember your username in the login field. Want to know even more? You can read more about some of the specific cookies we use, when they expire, and what we use them for in our FAQ. We believe this data collection helps improve your user experience, but you may remove or disable some or all locally stored data through your browser settings, depending on your browser. You can learn more about some options you have in our FAQ. While locally stored data may not be necessary to use our sites, some features may not function properly if you disable locally stored data. While the examples above concerning information about you collected through the use of data collection tools are kept confidential in accordance with this Policy, please note that some information about the actions taken by your username is made publicly available through public logs alongside actions taken by other users. For example, a public log may include the date your account was created on a united-world.org Site along with the dates that other accounts were created on a united-world.org Site. Information available through public logs will not include personal information about you.

Location Information

GPS & Other Location Technologies

If you consent, we can use commonly-used location technologies to show you more relevant content.

Some features we offer work better if we know what area you are in. But it's completely up to you whether or not you want us to use geolocation tools to make some features available to you. If you consent, we can use GPS (and other technologies commonly used to determine location) to show you more relevant content. We keep information obtained by these technologies confidential, except as provided in this Policy. You can learn more by checking out the list of examples of how we use these technologies in our FAQ.

We may automatically receive location data from your device. For example, if you upload a photo using the united-world.org- mobile app, please be aware that the default setting on your mobile device typically results in the metadata associated with your photo being included in the upload.

Sometimes, we may automatically receive location data from your device. For example, if you want to upload a photo on the united-world.org mobile app, we may receive metadata, such as the place and time you took the photo, automatically from your device. Please be aware that, unlike location information collected using GPS signals described above, the default setting on your mobile device typically includes the metadata in your photo or video upload to the united-world.org Sites. If you do not want metadata sent to us and made public at the time of your upload, please change your settings on your device.

When you visit any united-world.org Site, we automatically receive the IP address of the device you are using to access the Internet, which can be used to infer your geographical location.

For example, if you make a contribution without signing into your account, your IP address used at the time will be publicly and permanently recorded. If you are visiting united-world.org Sites with your mobile device, we may use your IP address to provide anonymized or aggregated information to service providers regarding the volume of usage in certain areas. We use IP addresses for research and analytics; to better personalize content, notices, and settings for you; to fight spam, identity theft, malware, and other kinds of abuse; and to provide better mobile and other applications.

We are committed to notifying you via email at least ten (7) calendar days, when possible, before we disclose your personal information in response to a legal demand. However, we may only provide notice if we are not legally restrained from contacting you, there is no credible threat to life or limb that is created or increased by disclosing the request, and you have provided us with an email address.

Advertisement! How and why?

Why we allow advertisement on united-world.org?

The purpose of this web-page is to improve the immediate environment of each of us. This includes a healthy infrastructure, education and business. For this reason we reserve advertising space on the page for the local economy for more favourable conditions to place advertising in the area of operation. From our point of view this is a particularly important role in the local economy. The advertisements are liable to separate terms of use and conditions, which are listed separately.

Advertisement is very important for most companies, regions and countryside. We would like to support local businesses by offering more favourable conditions in order to help them to obtain attention. We want to make sure that a local enterprise or retailer receives the best possible placement no matter what size of company. Global advertisement only can be displayed if there is no local advertiser. At the same time the revenue should generate an income for the authors and journalists. This income possibility should be a motivation to contribute with articles and pieces of high quality.

How do we use the revenue of the advertisements?

The biggest part of the revenue will be divided between the authors according to a distribution key. The rest will assure the organization, administration and technic of united-word.org.

Who can become an author?

Everyone can become an author by registering as a free user and publish a piece on united-world.org.

How can I earn money as an author?

In order to be able to refund the author he has to be a verified user. The verification can be achieved by the postident-procedure or by transferring at least 1 Euro to us from your bank account. All red articles generate ad revenue. This revenue will be attributed to the author. After every quarter a settlement is going to be developed and assigned to the authors.

How much can I earn as an author?

The income depends on the readership and the ad revenue per published article in every respective country. About half of the revenue of a local placed ad per article can be expected as a tentative target value. If there is no local ad revenue the author will receive an income from the national and global ad revenue. A distribution key will be calculated every quarter out of all pieces. The payment will take place every quarter as soon as a contribution amount of at least 10 Euro is reached. There is no general entitlement of the authors about a specific aimed amount of the ad revenue per article. Further, the author has no claim to obtain a specific amount of payment per quarter. The solidarity principle gets priority for the key division. The payment can be partly or completely denied if there is proof of abuse or violation of the general terms and in this case compensation can be claimed by united-world.org.

Do I have to pay tax?

The author is responsible for his tax obligation in the country of residence and has to undertake this obligation with the receipt of the payment.
